Watch the mouse that mutilated spread his fear beyond the screen.

Below is an exclusive “jump scare” video in which people who innocently believe they’re getting their picture taken with the villain of SCREAMBOAT get a big surprise. The movie, now available on DVD, Blu-ray and digital from DeskPop Entertainment, was directed by Steven LaMorte from a script he wrote with Matthew Garcia-Dunn, and stars the TERRIFIER films’ David Howard Thornton as a murderous variation on STEAMBOAT WILLIE’s Mickey Mouse, along with Allison Pittel, Amy Schumacher, Jesse Posey, Jesse Kove, Kailey Hyman, Rumi C Jean-Louis, Jarlath Conroy (George A. Romero’s DAY OF THE DEAD) and Charles Edwin Powell, with cameos by Tyler Posey (TEEN WOLF), Brian Quinn (IMPRACTICAL JOKERS) and stand-up comedian Joe DeRosa.  The synopsis: “Be our guest on a New York City ferry ride that turns into a hilarious nightmare when a mischievous mouse named Steamboat Willie becomes a monstrous reality. As passengers set sail, their trip turns deadly when the tiny terror unleashes murder and mayhem.”
